Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 85% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 289 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $14,588 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $13,011 at $0–30k against $18,519 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 60% of students at an average of $8,699. Federal borrowing reaches 49% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
